This weekend was the annual Kendal Mountain Festivals event in Kendal (obviously).
To help blow (or more accurately, wash) the hangover from the night before at the FRCC Centenary Banquet away we decided to brave the rain and go for a bumble up Eskdale today.
To round off what has been an exceptionally packed weekend of activities (although not that much climbing!), we were invited to some live music in Kirkby Stephen by our friends David and Kath.
In 1997 I was lucky enough to attend the CC centenary in North Wales, I'd only been a member of the CC for less than two years at that time, but it was an amazing experience! I resolved straight away to become a member of the FRCC before their centenary in 2006.
Despite the weather forecast (Gales and squally showers), Anna, Ian, Andy and Arthur decided on a wet trog around Helvellyn, Nethermost Pike and Dollywagon Pike.
The girls had planned to go to the theatre in Keswick on Friday, but the show was cancelled, so Anna arranged a gastronomic night out in Cockermouth at the newly opened Spice House Indian restaurant.
There is no better party than a wedding - everyone is always in such a happy mood! So how much better is it when the guy getting married has been your mate since age 11, and you're his best man?
Work meant that both Dave and I were marooned in London tonight...
Wow! Mid-summer weather in October. Ian, Anna, Pete, Laetitia, Terry and Vicky took the opportunity to find a south facing crag close to the road.
